Translations

There is a three-step process for translating man pages. Most of the work happens in the man-po directory.

make -C man-po translate-templates Creates the translation templates (the .pot files) for translators to use as a base. These, along with the tar file, should be sent to the tp-coorindator before release.

make get-trans rsyncs the latest translated (.po) files for both the programs and man pages.

make -C man-po translate-mans This is also called in the dist-hook and is where the translation magic happens. Take the original man page, the relevant .po file and produce a translated man page in that language. All of the man pages generated are found in man-po/(LANG)/man(SECTION)/
